"There is something in that, certainly," says Captain Rodney, with feeling. "I wonder, now, what great and charitable deed I could do." Here Mona and Dorothy grow suddenly deeply interested, and lean forward. "Then Manning it shall be," says Geoffrey, gayly. "I'll run up to Dublin, and if you give me your measure I'll bring a gown back to you." "I have heard the library is a room well worth seeing," goes on the Australian, seeing she will not speak..
